How to defrost a freezer – top tips

Plan in advance: schedule defrosting ahead of time, that way you can eat your freezer food rather than having to store it while you defrost.

Go carefully: be very cautious when chipping away at ice in your fridge freezer, as a little slip could see you hurt, or your freezer damaged. Use a plastic ice scraper or spatula (definitely don’t use a knife).
